January 2009 PI Applicants

[namara87]

It's funny you say that, because the finance internship is one of the only ones still listed. The majority of internships are no longer available. Go checkout the job listing site for Florida, and do a search for intern, you'll see it there.

Chase007, I used to live in Harambe...what a small world. haha.

Anyway, has anyone heard from Retail Management post 3rd interviews? I was told 2-3 weeks, today is 2....I'm getting a bit anxious obviously.

And does anyone have any idea how many interns are needed for retail management? They're virtually in every area of Property and I was quick to note that my email saying I was selected to interview had 12 other people in the "To:" list. I can only imagine that a few of these emails went out in batches? I was on Face earlier and I saw that most in the P.I. group were thinking around 30 or so people were sent an email...that to me seems more like the number they would hire alone...idk, any ideas?

I just search some of the PI position online, and I find that there are not too much role relate to Finance. Will it be more later?

I was able to find a WDI finance internship available.

Also, remember that this recruiting season is almost over, so you may want to wait until the Fall 09 PIs are posted in January.

Yeah! I thought we'd hear back by Halloween, i thought thats what she said. I want to call casting but at the same time i know they value applicants patience but mine is starting to run out.

I also interviewed with the Weddings department, and thought I'd hear back by Halloween too...but nothing as of yet. I know they said casting would call to give you an offer or were denied. So I'm thinking they have made their decisions, and now we are just waiting for Casting to basically start those calls out.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

Ya... I am still waiting for my letter for Spring 09 CP.
I want to do the PI in fall 09. So, most of the position for Fall 09 will post in Jan 09?
I am so excited about that.

Christie are you talking about Youth Events, working with festival disney and such? I interviewed for that, and was excited to hear that there are 10 spots. I haven't heard anything back yet, and actually no one has. Apparently they are all on hold. There was a huge discussion about it today in the facebook group. You should check it out, it was hyperlinked a few days ago. With this internship I don't think they can do it without us, since it is essentially the 10 interns running the festivals. The wait is getting hard! But we can all hang in there!

That's the one...sorry about any confusion. I wrote that while I was running out the door. Is there any word on how long they're going to be on hold? Like you said, the wait is killing me!

Yes, that is correct. Start writing your cover letter and fixing up your resume so you can submit right when they are posted!

If I apply for Fall 09 PI, when will it start?
IF I apply the spring 09 CP, is it possible for me to start doing the Fall 09 PI right after that?

The Fall PIs run from June - January. It is possible for you do to the Spring CP from January - May and then do a Fall PI.

 

[avanmanchun]

Actually what is the chance to be a PI after CP? I am just curious

I know one person on here had gotten an offer to the food and beverage management PI but I was wondering if anyone else had heard back about that one yet. They had told me I would get a class from casting telling me one way or another but I have heard nothing.

A lot of people haven't heard anything. Myself included.

It's kind of annoying because if I'm not accepted I want to get myself set-up for other options next year, but I don't want to see counselors, draw up paperwork, etc to only have to turn them down and their work if I get an offer.

HI there,

I'm still waiting on F&B management as well. I'm pretty sure we are all waiting to hear while they decide who/what positions will fit into their budget right now.


Hang in there! Hopefully we will hear soon!

In case anybody was waiting for any of the science internships, a girl on facebook has been accepted for the Epcot entomology position and received an e-mail saying that all science program internships will be announced by this coming week.

Good luck to everyone waiting!

 

[CFL]

Well I already started setting up other options for January, but it still would be nice to know. I would think they are taking a lot of management inters since they pay them less than the full-time managers....and I know they let a few of the FT managers in my location go.

Does anyone have the information on whom to contact about Coral Cay? All I'm finding on Google is management companies that operate them for vacation homes (by the night) and the one place mentioned on FB acted like they only had one unit left (and wanted a $1200 *deposit* )

Thanks for the update. I know someone was offered Marine Mammal.

Try the "housing/roommate" thread on FB. There's people who've responded on there who are already living in Coral Cay. They can probably tell you who to get in contact.

I posted it somewhere on the PI group.

For those of you who have excepted non-management roles, what is going to be your hourly pay rate? I have heard the pay range for all non-management roles, but I would like to hear from all of you to get an idea of what each position is paying their interns. That is if you do not mind divulging that information.
